Chapter 2105 The Reasons for the Decline in Strength of the Four Great Divine Beast Families
The Left Protector felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and coughed a few times:
"The fake alliance leader did put me in charge of the beast cores and time shuttle stones, but I was only responsible for collecting the items. How was I supposed to know there were so many other things involved?!"
Both the Chains of Time and the Dark Prison are controlled by the fake leader; even if I wanted to intervene, I couldn't!"
Whether what he said was true or false, everyone present knew perfectly well.
It's impossible that they didn't get involved at all, but the estimate of their involvement is indeed limited.
Fengxi was too lazy to argue with him; sometimes, being oblivious is a kind of wisdom.
From a personal perspective, she wished she could stab them all to death with one sword each!
Because they are all perpetrators, all accomplices of the fake leader.
However, considering the bigger picture, she had to make peace with them, because only by uniting the Nine Nether Continent and the Heavenly Palace Continent could they kill the fake alliance leader and completely resolve the Deathly Stillness.
Fengxi asked the Left Protector, "Have you heard the Alliance Leader mention where those fragments of divine consciousness came from? Were they extracted from various creatures on the Nine Nether Continent?"
The left protector's eyes darted around somewhat:
"Yes, I have heard the Alliance Leader mention it briefly. Ordinary demonic beasts cannot withstand the pressure of the power of time, so no matter what kind of Void Beast it is, it will contain fragments of the divine consciousness of divine beasts and ferocious beasts."
As for where the fragments of divine and ferocious beasts' consciousness came from, the alliance leader only said that they were passed down from successive alliance leaders.
Feng Xi thought to herself, no wonder the strength of the four divine beast families suddenly declined and the ferocious beasts also lost some of their memories. It turned out that fragments of their divine consciousness had all been extracted.
As for why the ferocious beasts suffered relatively less damage, it is probably related to their preference for being solitary and making them difficult to track down.
Furthermore, there were only four ferocious beasts in total, and the fake leader felt that the cost-effectiveness was not high, so he naturally allowed the divine beasts to wreak havoc.
But how did the fake leader manage to do that? It's incredibly powerful!
She pressed the Left Protector further, asking, "Where did those prisoners and jailers in the Dark Prison come from?"
"How would I know?!"
I knew from the start that the prison warden was chosen by the fake leader himself.
The jailers were probably marginalized members of the alliance; as for the prisoners, they were either guilty of wrongdoing or were just independent cultivators.
Fengxi: "Oh."
You don't know? You clearly know very well!
Left Guardian: “…”
To deflect his embarrassment, he nudged Gongsun Qian beside him.
"When the fake alliance leader went to the Illusionary Ruins Sea to capture Shi Suofeng, didn't you go with him? Quickly tell Yiyi, um, Xiaoxi!"
Gongsun Qian: “…”
You are so damaged!
His mind was in turmoil. The thought that he had taken a liking to the same heartless person at different times and places made him feel suffocated.
Furthermore, Fengxi exposed their ugly face of shifting the blame from Tianque Continent to the east, which made him feel extremely ashamed.
If he hadn't recently consumed quite a few pills given to him by some wolf cub, he might have already passed out.
He roused himself and said:
"I did go with them back then, but only the fake leader went into the depths of the Illusionary Ruins Sea. The others and I just stayed on the periphery."
We didn't even see a shadow of Time Shuttle Peak. When the fake leader came out, he said he had already moved Time Shuttle Peak into the Dark Prison.
As for how they moved there, we have no idea.
Fengxi thought to herself, "No wonder you've been manipulated by the same person generation after generation. You're all idiots!"
Commander Liu sighed:
"If you stand in the perspective of an outsider, you will naturally be able to see the problem."
They were different. Their long-standing fear and trust in the leader made them subconsciously believe that whatever the leader did was right, or even omnipotent.
Furthermore, the fake leader's divine sense is incredibly powerful; he might have erased or confused some of their memories, just like he did with Venerable Sikong. That's why they knew nothing when questioned.
Although Fengxi felt that Commander Liu's words seemed to be defending himself, they also made some sense.
It is estimated that Shen Zhilan is in the same situation; her memories may have been erased or confused.
Thinking of Shen Zhilan, she dared not even imagine how overjoyed she would be if she knew that she was Feng Xi!
Commander Liu thought to himself, "Are you sure it's a surprise?"
Given Shen Zhilan's personality, if she knew you were Feng Xi, she'd probably be so angry she'd die!
Fengxi said to everyone:
"By the way, you all saw it before, the fake leader's primordial spirit had a golden halo, which looked somewhat like a projection of the primordial spirit."
Do you think his true form might be hidden in the Illusionary Ruins Sea, and that somewhere in the Illusionary Ruins Sea might not be on the same plane as the Heavenly Continent?
Therefore, his physical body cannot enter the Heavenly Continent, and he can only use this method of primordial spirit projection.
This is why he knew about the concept of primordial spirit projection, because he himself was in this situation.
Shen Zhilan, yes, that Lan Zhi, her sea of consciousness should also contain the same primordial spirit projection, but perhaps due to some conditions, she is unable to possess another body and can only exist in a parasitic way.
As for why he was able to project his primordial spirit onto two continents simultaneously, that remains unknown.
If this conjecture is correct, the interface where the fake leader is located is very likely the source of the deathly aura, and it is located in the Illusionary Ruins Sea.
Of course, this interface might be different from the Heavenly Continent and the Nine Nether Continent; it might not be a continent in the conventional sense.
Upon hearing Fengxi's words, everyone started discussing it amongst themselves.
"I think Xiaoxi's analysis makes sense. I was wondering why the fake alliance leader went to the Illusionary Ruins Sea every now and then. Turns out his lair is there!"
"No wonder he could easily capture the Phantom Insects and Moon Gazing Mother Moths from the Phantom Ruins Sea, as well as the enormous Time Shuttle Peak, and even remotely construct the Dark Prison and the Time-Space Chain."
……
As everyone discussed the matter, Gongsun Qian's expression was very solemn.
After everyone else had finished expressing their opinions, he said:
"If the fake leader's projected primordial spirit is this powerful, one can only imagine how powerful his true body must be!"
Not to mention, there are many other Illusionary Beasts in the depths of the Illusionary Ruins Sea at the Tribulation Transcending stage. Let alone capturing him, it's questionable whether we can even find him.
Hearing him say that, everyone's hearts sank, and the atmosphere in the room became somewhat tense.
Fengxi chuckled softly:
"Back then, your Heavenly Alliance was just as powerful as our Nine Nether Continent, but what was the result? You were utterly defeated!"
A powerful enemy is not scary; what is scary is being cowardly before the battle even begins!
Besides, if the fake leader really had that much power, he wouldn't have chosen to secretly possess another body to control the Heavenly Alliance.
Furthermore, his projection of his primordial spirit may be different from what we know.
If his primordial spirit projection was like that of your Heavenly Alliance, he could have simply committed suicide. Why bother going through all that trouble to escape?
Therefore, it's possible that his projected primordial spirit has a significant impact on his primordial spirit. It's estimated that after we severely damaged him, his physical strength will also be greatly weakened.
As for the tribulation-crossing beasts deep within the Illusionary Ruins Sea, there's nothing to fear. We can simply reason with them and appeal to their emotions.
Everyone: "..."
Even if everything else is one thing, do you really think you can persuade those mythical beasts of the Illusionary Ruins with just words?
I'm afraid you're just dreaming!
